Helllooooo Mother
Dearest!!!
Let me tell you, i am SO happy!!!! oh man, this transfer is gonna be
AWESOME!!!!! I have the two COOLEST COMPANIONS EVER! We all get along so well.
Hermana Facer is 24 and from Utah. She goes home in January so i wont get to
spend too much time with her, but i hopefully will get her for 2 transfers.
Hermana Barrett is 21 and from Utah as well (im out numbered by Utah-ins in this
area haha) but she's way cool also! She has been going through some WAY ROUGH
times medically but she's still here. We are going to the doctors again today
for her. Poor girl, but she strenghtens my testimony every day. We all just have
the best time together. So many funny moments already! Hermana Facer started out
her mission here in Hurst and she's gonna end her mission here in Hurst. I would
LOVE to end my mission in Waco. Waco is an amazing place and the members and
people are so special and awesome. This area is nice. Hurst is awesome.
We have
someone who is gonna be getting baptized on the 10th. Her name is Genisis. She
is way cool. She's this adorable little 13 year old and her testimony rocks!
She's so sweet. Our other investigators are doing good. We are still trying to
find new ones and the elect ones but other than that, this area is amazing.
There is a total of 10 missionaries in our ward! It is HUGE! We have a trio of
zone leaders and then two other regular sets of elders and then our trio so that
makes 10 missionaries in one ward haha The members always make so much food for
us! Just last night, a lady made 75 pupusas. Those are divine! Its kinda hard
to describe what they are but they are one of my favorite mexican foods to eat.
75 of them!! She said it took over 2 hours, but this ward is awesome with
missionary work so she didn't mind. We told her next time to call us so we could
go over and help her make them. Slash....learn how to make them hahaha.
So i have
a funny story for you. We were at dinner with a member and i tried to tell her
that i already had herbs but thank you tho. (she asked if i wanted to put some
on my food) and she looked at me with one of the most disturbed faces ive seen
and my companions started to bust up laughing. You know what i said? i actually
said "no i already have herpies (the std) but thank you tho) oh it was so
funny!!! needless to say, i corrected myself on that one reaaaallll quick!!
You know what so awesome? Even tho you're going through a hard time back
home and Casey is potentially gonna be in a Hurricane and some other stuff
that's happened, im not worried! I know that the Lord will provide and everything
is gonna be fine. My testimony has gotten so much strong since i've been a
missionary! I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!!! And especially with my two companions
and this area right now. I can not even express in an email of how happy i am
right now.
I also
have splendid and fantastic news for Halloween. I get together with our district
(which is full of way cool elders, some of which i've served around before and
others i wanted to serve around and then 2 new ones) and we are gonna carve
pumpkins and tiie dye matching shirts! :) Its gonna be way cool. Bad news, i ate
11 Reeses yesterday, so please dont send me any more. I have ZERO control when
it comes to those little things. I also saw that the Reeses christmas trees are
out now. This is also no bueno. again....no control!! I told my companions that
they needed to watch me and monitor me, other wise i'd eat way too much and send
myself into a diabetic coma! Yes, i got my package, thank you! We thought that
those superman boxers where hillarious! And as stated earlier, i clearly enjoyed
the reeses. And yes, i voted and sent that in. oh, i sent the best picture, our neighbor has a westie and they have a game called westie-opoly! i have to get that when i get home! i miss my baby!
Im gonna go attach some pictures and send those
off to you before i run out of time. I LOVE YOU! you're amazing and the best mom
that anyone could ever ask for!!!!!!!!
